I have had my camera for not even a year and it recently started having this problem. Whenever I take a picture, the object will look fine in the display, but when I take the picture it gets horizontal lines across the picture. It is much worse if there is any natural light coming into the picture. I have tried adjusting the flash, the white balance, but the pictures are still coming out this way. Also, if there is a good amount of natural light, you can't see the object you at all, it looks

If I understand you correctly, you're saying that the LCD display shows a normal picture when you are composing your shot, but that when you actually snap the shutter to record the shot, the resulting image has nasty lines across it?That ...

Olympus X-42 Camera - the screen has gone white (with a few thin green/purple vertical lines). When I switch on the camera the screen is white, there is no picture or menu displayed. I have checked by plugging it into the tv, and it takes pictures and goes into menus fine - it just doesn't display anything on camera screen. I have only had the camera for a week, and have not stored it anywhere humid. Is there anything I can do to fix, or do I just have to take it to get repaired?

There doesn't appear to be a solution. I have had to send mine off to be repaired. They don't provide a camera case but it is a very necessary piece of aquipment. I was told that the screen had been pressed. I can only think that this occured when tr ...

LCD Display I was using my A95 yesterday. I have had it for 3 years with no problems. There was a spot of dirt on the LCD display, I wiped it off with my cotton tshirt. No more display. Just a white screen with lines. What did I do? Can it be fixed?

I've got a Fujifilm F30. Since yesterday, its not working properly. When I take photos, it 'absorbs' too much light and indoor photos becomes really bright and outdoor photos becomes nearly white from brightness. And when I transfer the pictures to computer, it has minor lines accross the picture. The video mode seems to be unaffected. What is the problem and is it worth fixing ? Would like to fix it if I can as F30 is still considered one of the best compact camera Fuji has ever made ! Thanks.

Hi Yuri. Turn the camera on and go into the menu and find the reset. Reset it. This will take you back to original factory settings. Then try it out. If it is fixed great. If not take it to your local camera shop that does repairs. J. ...

The screen for my panasonic lumix dmc fs15 appears to be broken. I've only had it for six months! The display is now White with a small dark patch to one side, and diagonal lines across the screen. I was out hiking , and it was in my pocket. I don't recall it getting bashed but I guess that's what mustve happened! Is it worthwhile getting it fixed? Should I just buy a new one? How long would it take if I sent it away to get fixed?

Sd110 lcd My LCD did not work, canon repaired it....GREAT! but 2 weeks later it died. It was blank so I send it back and canon says they want money to fix. Damn.. It still takes photos with no problem. I cannot access any functions because the LCD won't work. I've tried the Display button and got the black and white screen of death. I have to take the card out to transfer photos. Canon says"UNIT HAS IMPACT/PRESSURE TO LCD". Do I need a new LCD or what. thanks, steve stokes

I have had my LCD screen go out in my small point and shoot as well, though i did not even bother with my company for the warranty was far expired. You could do a couple things. You could buy an LCD screen off ebay, or anywhere you can find it ...

Okay, I'm not sure if my camera got wet or what but it has a white screen with lines through it when you try to turn it on and it won't change no matter what setting it's set to. Also, everytime you try to turn it on, the lens opens and closes frantically. Is there any way this can be fixed?

I got my Kodak EasyShare C160 digital camera on Christmas this year, and it has been working perfectly until about a week ago. I might have dropped it, I'm not quite sure. My problem is that when I take a picture, it has white, horizontal lines of various thickness running through it, almost in a pattern. Is there any way I can fix this?

I recently bought a Canon A590. I've taken perhaps 20 photos on half a dozen occasions and I'm having trouble getting the photos onto my computer (only 2 years old, up to date). I can usually only retrieve about 30% of the photos completely, another 50% "half" the photo with the other portions white, gray or black, then 30% I can't access at all. I'm not sure where to start to fix this problem; at this point I'm ready to return the camera and be done withit!

Can i use a high speed flash card, because I recently bought 4GB and when replaying the photos, it displays white lines

I would try a high speed flash card. Or a different one either way if you are getting lines. You can also clean the contacts on card and in camera with rubbing alcohol and a cotton swab ...

I have a Sony Cybershot DSC-S750. I recently dropped it in some water, so I came home, took the battery out and dried the camera for 2 1/2 days. Now when I take pictures there are white lines running horizontally and it has a yellow hue. Even when I look at them on the computer it had that, what's wrong and how do I fix it?

First of all, you're lucky it turned on at all. Usually, a camera must be buried in a bowl of dry rice for a week before it is completely dry. Even then, only if it was dropped in distilled water would it work properly. Ordinary water will leave depo ...

Hi- I dropped my Sony Mavica FD-95 on the floor and the display is now white with lines throught it and you can vey slightly see the photo that was taken ? Any idea how to fix it or isn't it worth it ? I have had the camera for over 11 years and it takes beautiful photos. Thanks, Jay

From your description the lens housing has probably been damaged, and possibly other parts. Sony supports their products for so long and will not repair, because the camera is 11 years old and the cost to repair could be equal to a new one, I would r ...

SAMSUNG PL101 - When I take pictures, white lines appear on them. They don't appear on the screen when I am not taking a picture, and they do appear when I transfer them to my computer. I have tried changing the batteries and memory card, but it makes no difference. The lines are sometimes only visible on parts of the image, in certain lines. When you zoom in to the areas of the photo where the white lines are, they look different, and are a lot thinner. Is there any way I can fix this, or is my

Camera repair The LCD display is white with red lines going through it. Even the viewfinder does the same thing -- white. When I hit the view button, the same thing sometimes. It seems to do worse outside. You can faintly see the pictures I took in the LCD display. Now the LCD display is totally black. What's wrong. The menu display still works. What can I do?

Time for a new Camera. It is about 150.00 to replace the LCD. it is cheaper to replace it unless you can just use the viewfinder alone!! ...

White lines Hello! I got an Kodak easyshare M853 for Christmas 2008. I have taken approx. 400 pictures. Yesterday I took a picture and it appeard fine. When I go to review it there are white vertical lines through out the picture. These lines even appear when I down load them to my computer. The lines do not appear on pictures that I took prior to yesterday. Please help! I have Birthdays coming up and the Holidays, I can't be withour my camera! Thanks!

There are lots of white lines on my photos.
It doesn't seem to matter what the setting is, flash or not, and I've replaced the batteries which are new. The lines go accross each picture like a venitian blind. The picture looks fine when displayed immediately after being taken, but the lines are there when I display and scroll through the pictures. I have a finepix fujifilm e900 digital camera.

Then unfortunately this is a problem with the image sensor on the camera. It would cost more to fix than to just purchase a new one. If you do go for a new one please recycle the old one at a location that takes e-waste. Sorry for the bad news. ...

My Canon 40D LCD monitor when displaying a photo has just started displaying white sections of a picture as alternating black then white. The rest of the photo is fine just the white flashes. Any idea what is wrong with it?

It's possible that your Highlight Alert is enabled. Over-exposed areas of your image will blink to indicate blown-out whites. If you don't like this feature, go to the Menu, under the second blue tab (for playback), look for Highlight Alert and Disa ...

My Canon Powereshot 200SX IS does not start properly. Display comes on but the lens stays closed inside and a led blinks. After a while display turns black, a beep comes on and the white text says: there is an error, try to start again. Starting it again brings exactly the same situation. Loosing the battery does not help either. Camera seems not to react to any control buttons. There has not been any any obvious reason for this, no falling onto the ground or any other impact.
